Waiting for Justice
Now Taliban, which has close relations with other terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda, is in power in Afghanistan and has monopolized the power. And They continue training suicide bombers and they have committed genocide proven based on reliable evidence. However, no government and Human Rights organization pursue bringing the Taliban to justice and making them accountable for their genocide and other crimes.
The families of these victims expect the Taliban to be brought to justice.
